The exercise:

Welcome back to Def Poetry Jam Friday. I'm off to a wedding this afternoon and that's got me wondering if Kathy and Ian's beginning was anything like Paul Mabon's Toothbrush.

Mine:

A light-hearted reminder that love and relationships cannot be planned, cannot be seen coming. They sneak in the back door when you're not looking, make themselves at home while you're reading the newspaper.

Then one day you look around and it seems like they've always been there. But you can't say when they arrived, you just know they're here to stay.

So Kathy and Ian, I hope the years before you find you together, happy and with all the good fortune you both deserve. And may love always have a place in your home.

This appears to be Paul Mabon's only Def Poetry Jam appearance but he does have his own account where's uploaded other performances. So far my favorite is this one.
